Mary Wollstonecraft ShelleyNothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.
About This Quote
When you’ve been doing something for a long time, you get used to it. You know how to do it. You think of it as second nature, not realizing how much work went into getting you there. When something is suddenly thrown at you that you haven’t figured out yet, it can be extremely painful.
You are still learning, but now you are being forced to learn in the heat of battle instead of with time to spare. Having to figure out things quickly can be very frustrating, especially if the people around you are making constant mistakes due to their lack of experience.
